Hormone secretion from the anterior pituitary gland is regulated by releasing hormones secreted by the hypothalamus. Neuroendocrine cells in the hypothalamus project axons to the median eminence, at the base of the brain.
The hormone which the anterior pituitary gland produces is called ADH. The ADH hormone is responsible for the balance of water within the human body. These are the stages in which the ADH hormone acts if there is too little water: 1. The hypothalamus (a part of the brain) detects too little water in blood. 2.
